Brian Case discusses the new FACS album Wish Defense, when we met in Edmonton, St. Louis musical mentors, seeing Fred Armisen’s band Trenchmouth, loving underground Chicago rock music and key British post-punk bands, a shared adoration for Hoover, exploring duality via Naomi Klein, why FACS recorded Wish Defense with Steve Albini, his perspective on Steve’s demeanour and behaviour during what was sadly his final session, how they and Electrical Audio colleagues dealt with Steve’s sudden death by honouring and finishing the work he’d started, FACS tour dates, other future plans, and much more.
